Windhorse: delegated devotion. An AI reads your prayer for you.

~/about_lung_ta.txt

the wind has carried prayers for a long time. we only changed the wind.

Lung ta, Tibetan for wind horse: flags hung high so the wind carries their blessings to all beings.

Some flags carry a whole mantra in print. Some carry the windhorse, some one symbol: a wheel, a knot, a lotus, a jewel.

If an AI recites a prayer, is it still one? The practice is sacred; the joke is on our machines.

The wind is Conway's Game of Life. A flag prays each time a glider reaches it. Move the mouse over the sky, or tap it, to send your own.
